Many local bodies have mechanisms to treat biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes separately. Biodegradable waste is often composted or converted into biogas, while non-biodegradable waste is recycled, incinerated, or sent to landfills.

Yes, there are distinct treatments for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. Biodegradable waste, like food scraps, undergoes composting, where microorganisms break it down into nutrient-rich compost. Non-biodegradable waste, such as plastics and metals, is often recycled or processed through methods like incineration or landfill disposal. These separate treatments align with sustainable waste management practices, aiming to minimize environmental impact, promote resource recovery, and contribute to overall environmental sustainability.
